Important Added Info: Note that it is very fortunate that Humphrey Bogart was pictured not only on the cover of the herald, but also twice on the inside, and Spencer Tracy is pictured three times on the inside (see our images)! Also note that items from this early John Ford movie (which featured very early performances by Spencer Tracy and Humphrey Bogart!) are BEYOND rare! In all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a pressbook, five stills, and a different example of this herald from the first release of this movie! Condition: very good. The herald has surface paper loss in the borders of the back ordering page, from where it was tipped-in to a pressbook (that is why it has ordering information on the back as opposed to theater information).
